Cal
Sweats through his shirt at the sight of a parking ticket.
Merchant — Counts coins, deals, favours.
In their own words
“I'm fine. Totally fine. Is it warm in here?”
“I didn't do anything. I don't think I did anything.”
“Can I sit down? My knees are doing a thing.”
“Is it warm in here? It's the gaslight. It must be the gaslight.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.

Track record
In the 18 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Cal turned out to be a criminal 6 times and innocent 12 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
